Assignment 2 Submission

...check your email. I'm told CS account passwords are being sent out this afternoon (really, this time).

If you still don't have a CS account, submit your assignment to an AFS directory I have set up...

Name your file using your RCS login name like this rcsid.1.scm
Here's how you can submit your file. (These instructions are from last year, so I hope everything's the same.)
- On RCS windows machines, click on the desktop RCS icon and connect to the public areas. You'll have to type your RCS username and password. Then open the "dept", "cs", and "ai" folders. Drop your file into the "submit2" directory.
- From RCS UNIX machines, copy your file to the directory /dept/cs/ai/submit2
- From old CS machines (I know it works on coffeepot but not on monica), you must first authenticate to the RCS AFS cell using the command
  klog -cell rpi.edu -principal rcsid
  (If your RCS login name is the same as your CS login name, I think you can omit the last part.) Copy your file to the directory /afs/rpi.edu/dept/cs/ai/submit2.
You will only have permission to copy a file into this directory and to list the contents of this directory. You cannot read, modify, or delete files in this directory. If you find you've made a mistake and need to submit your file again, rename your file by incrementing the number (e.g. rcsid.2.scm).

You may submit of your code up to 3 times.
For your third submission, there will be a 5% reduction in your score. This should encourage you to get it right on one of your first two submissions for which there is no reduction. Any late penalties will also be deducted.
Your grade will be the maximum of your submissions (with any applicable reductions to each one individually).
Currently, the web tester does not check whether you have written a recursive or nonrecursive solutions. We will either add this capability to the web tester or check this manually afterwards. If you submit a recursive solution when the problem specifically asked for a nonrecursive solution, we will revise your score appropriately.

First, your code is run through a "syntax checker" which ensures that you aren't using certain advanced Scheme constructs that are (for now) prohibited. Your code must pass this test in order to be submitted. If you stick with the forms covered in the Scheme handouts, you will be fine.
Your code must consist only of define statements. The "syntax checker" will report an error otherwise.
The restrictions on advanced Scheme forms are:
- The body of define forms (and other forms with an implicit begin such as the cond, case, let, and let* forms) may only contain one expression.
- Certain forms are explicitly prohibited: eval, begin, and any kind of mutator (such as set!). There are other prohibited forms, but you shouldn't have any occasion to use them.
- The syntax checker is currently not equipped to handle named lets.
Next, your code is checked to make sure that all the procedures for the assignment are defined (and that they take the correct number of arguments). If there is anything missing, you will get a warning message, but you can still continue the submission.
Finally, your code is tested.
You will get your score and some feedback immediately. A full transcript of the tests run on your code will be emailed to you when the assignment is returned.

You need a CS account (with Kerberos password). You should have all received a password by email (to your RCS account) on Monday 9/10. If you do not have a CS account and need one, contact the TA Zie Kone (konez@cs.rpi.edu) who will request one for you. If for some reason need your password reset, contact labstaff@cs.rpi.edu.
Next, go to the Assignment 2 Web Tester. You will probably need to accept the site certificate from the server.
